Ohio 21st Century Partnership Website- http://21stcenturyskillsohio.org

“21stcenturyskillsohio.org” is Ohio’s response to the need for a “one-stop shop” resource focused on infusing 21st Century Skills into education. Aligned as a “leadership state” with the national Partnership for 21st Century Skills, Ohio has made a commitment to building world class skills and knowledge in our educational system. Educators, administrators, students, parents, business and civic leaders and policymakers are now collaborating to re-vamp historical school designs and traditional classroom learning environments, re-tool academic content standards and assessment tools.
